Zé has to fight the urge to punch Ivy right in the face when that stupid bitch opens her mouth once again and nothing but poison comes out of it. 'You listen carefully, you piece of crap,' she hisses, while still fighting the urge to spit in the woman's face, 'if you ever try to claim I'm less useful than you while I just jumped a lion and you were almost crying over putting your knife in an animal, I'd like you to remember that I'm the one with a crossbow on my back and though I'm not permitted to use it, don't think I'll think twice about shooting a fcking arrow in your leg. Then you'll know what being wounded is like, sweetheart.'

She sighs and looks at the rest of the group. 'Now, does anyone think I'm selfish here? Then please, show us how selfless you are, you can always at any time take my spot and go last.' She crosses her arms and puts her cigarette back in her mouth. Damn, she's glad she can still smoke. As she's quite sure no-one will offer to take her place, she adds: 'Well, thank you then. Instead of pissing me off, next time just keep your dirty mouth shut, Ivy.'

Beck is surprised as Sam decides to go first. What was it with this guy? He seemed so frail and looked like he wasn't able to be handle all of this, and he decides to go first? ,,You're quite the confident one,'' Beck mutters, unaware of and not considering the real reasons why he was going first. Anyway, this sudden change in Sam's behaviour amused Beck. Apparantly Sam was more than he seemed to be.

Beck, having expected someone like Zé or Ivy to go first, is amazed as he follows the allocation of who goes up after Sam and Beck. Gabriel claims third place - the guy seemed to want to play it safe, which told Beck something about what he might've gained during their last stop. Dahsi first claims fourth places, but lets herself get convinced by Reese, who provides Beck with a little insight in herself. That girl liked to give her opinion. First, when fighting the lions, she'd let herself hear, and now again here, letting the others know that she thought was the best to do. Tch. Beck wasn't going to let her determine everything in this maze.

Zé isn't satisfied with Reese's thoughts, and Beck couldn't agree more. ,,Zé isn't the one that's being selfish. It's rather the two of you,'' Beck snapped at Ivy and Reese, on top of what Zé tells Ivy. These two needed to back off. ,,I'll go 8th if you don't want to go last,'' Beck then irrationaly impulsively states. ,,I don't care. I'll take the disadvantage if I have to then. You can go second then.''

Beck then turned away from them, not wishing for an all out confrontation with three minutes left. ,,Well Sammie, you heard the voice. Get ready to go,'' Beck tells Sam as he receives the notebook from Dahsi. Beck grins. ,,Show what you're worth.''

Zé reacts angrily after Reese's suggestion. "Note how I said 'I think'," Reese replies. "It was a suggestion to discuss with the rest of the group, not a command. But hey, if you want to volunteer to go last, fine by me." Reese shrugs. She isn't perturbed by Zé's accusation of them being 'wusses'. Wusses have a better chance of surviving than idiots who just throw themselves into the fray, after all. And Reese certainly wants to survive this.

At least Dahsi and Ivy agree. And though Reese keeps her fifth spot, at least Ivy and Dahsi swap places. Reese trusts Ivy, at least when it comes to the labyrinth. Outside of it is another story. Either way, they've got each other's backs, which is why Reese decides to go up against Zé when she starts spouting angry bullshit.

"Threatening anyone isn't going to help the group. Or you, for that matter. I'd bet that there's a heavy penalty if you use that crossbow, probably heavier than whatever the disadvantage might be. You don't want that." Reese sounds calm and rational and not particularly disturbed or threatened. She sure is going to keep her eye on Zé from now on, though.

"Besides, Ivy was just voicing her opinion, as was I. Like I said, it was a suggestion, that I was willing to discuss with the group so we could decide on the best strategy. Dahsi contributed - you didn't, you're just complaining. I wouldn't call that selfless either." The last part she also says towards Beck, who also suddenly decides that Reese is being selfish. And yeah, she was, but she was also putting forth what she honestly thought was the best strategy for the whole group. She continues, still forcing herself to react calmly: "Now, if anyone can come up with a better strategy in the, oh, minute or so we have left before Sam needs to go, please, let me hear it. But otherwise? Shut up."

So, someone's PMSing today. Zé freaks out, big time. She talks about pieces of crap and usefulness and crying and threats with crossbows and f*cking arrows and dirty mouths, and frankly, Ivy is unimpressed. Beck finds it necessary to voice his alliance to Zé (poor kid, still fascinated by her name?), and Reese comes to Ivy's defense by letting Zé know what a cow she is being. In nicer terms, that is.

A slightly condescending smile appears on Ivy's face. "What Reese says. And just for your information, it's not impressive that you jumped at the lion and got hurt. If you did it without getting a scratch - then we'd have something to talk about." Her smile widens. "But thank you, for terrifying us with your words. Clearly, you have proven yourself." She snorts and shakes her head.

Without paying any more attention to Zé, Ivy starts moving towards Sam. "Blondie, are you ready to go up? Move fast and watch where you're going. We'll be right behind you."

Gabriel listens to what Reese has to say and she has a point. The people that got hurt during the fight with the lions should go last, so they're could safe their strength a bit more for the next challenges. Because Gabriel asumes there will be more and maybe even much more challenges to come. Only Zé doesn't seem to agree with it, but he's sure Reese doesn't want to put anyone in real danger and they probably will need everyone to solve the anagram, right?.

Then the voice starts to speak again saying that they have 3 minutes left before the climb. When Ivy jumps in, to stand by Reese her words and so the bickering goes on. When Zé asks if anyone else thinks she's selfish, Gabriel isn't going to answer that. Then Beck volunteers to go last, so Zé could go second, well isn't that a noble thing for him to do.

Gabriel can't really think of a good strategy, but maybe it's still safer to use a rope, because he isn't sure how steep the mountain is going to be once they start climbing. It sure would be an extra twist to make the mountain steep and it would make it extra difficult, maybe even to difficult.

Surprise is the only thing Zé feels when Beck comes to her rescue. He gets a very grateful smile for that one. Maybe she has to change her opinion about him slightly. He's definitely not that bad. 'Thanks Beck, but no thanks,' she says to Beck. 'I said I'd go last and I will.' She rolls her eyes as Reese, who started it all, feels like she needs to spit some more crap to her. 'Gee, like you were really contributing, except for making sure you wouldn't end up last. Or second last. Or even third last for that matter.'

Zé knows she's not making any friends, but if she needs to "complain" to not get run over, then fine, she will. It's not like she came here to make friends. She's here to win. 'Oh, and I do feel a lot better now I got to threaten someone, so yeah, it did help me,' she says as she put on a fake smile towards Reese. 'And I'll gladly take the penalty if it means I'll get to shoot the two of you in the face, honey.'

She gestures towars the mountain as she continues. 'Be my guest, climb up first, be safe for now, but know you'll always have to look over your shoulder when I'm around from now on.' Then she fakes surprise as she puts her hand over her mouth. 'Oh, I'm sorry, I threatened you again, didn't I? Wow, strangely enough, it's really helping me feel better in here. Again.' Zé not sure herself where all this sarcasm is coming from. She's usually not like this, but Reese trying to justify the selfish things she said before, it pisses her off. It really, really pisses her off.

'And didn't I ask you to shut your fcking dirty mouth?' she says to Ivy as the bitch starts talking once again. 'Again, you're only vomiting crap. Idon'twanttohearanyofit.'

Sam Taylor

Sam smiles a bit sadly at Beck, trying to hide how bad he actually feels about all of this. Confident? Not really. The others aren't holding him back. He feels a bit stupid. He had pretty much taken the easiest place, but then again, they probably wouldn't trust him going last. It was obvious that his body wasn't built to climb mountains. The sooner he was back on the ground, the better.

The others are fighting over places, mainly because Reese tells the slightly injured ones they should go last. Sam keeps his mouth shut, instead concentrating on the mountain and attempting to count the minutes he has left. He quietly takes the notebook page from Dahsi, giving her a small smile. "Thank you, Dahsi." He hesitates and gives her a short hug. He looks at Beck, who tells him to get ready and show what he's worth. He quickly swallows the word 'nothing' and wraps his arms around the boy's neck instead. "See you in a bit." He breathes, his body trembling slightly.

He lets go of Beck, smiles shortly at the others, mainly at Ivy who seems to try to help him in her own way, and then there's a sound like some kind of buzzer going off. Apparently that's his sign. He takes a deep breath and starts to walk, going up, following some kind of path. The mountain is pretty steep and there's a lot of loose stones. Sam tries his hardest not to slip and fall, but he does trip a few times, only just managing to find back his balance before falling down. He passes flags every few meters. They're the colors of the different zones. Sam knows he has to ignore them and looks up, noticing the mountain getting only steeper.

Soon he's climbing. The stones are cold and pretty loose. A few times he slips and scrapes his knees and hands. Cursing softly, he continues his way up. He refuses to give up. He will show what he's worth. After climbing for what feels like hours, he reaches the red flag. There's a sign with his word on it. Sam moves closer to read the word 'AVENGE' and writes it down. Then he moves on, so he can walk back down at the other side of the mountain.

The warm sun instantly greets him and warms up his aching body. A relieved smile is on his face as he makes his way down. As he reaches the bottom, he instantly sits down, before his legs can give up on him. With trembling fingers he lights his cigarette, taking a deep drag from it, before taking the piece of paper out of his pocket. He looks at the word and starts to brainstorm, while waiting for Beck.

The next challenge apparently was climbing a mountain. Nothing to be afraid for, Isaac thought. But then the voice adds that they only have 45 minutes not just to climb the mountain but also to solve the anagrams. So they really had to climb fast.

To Isaac's big surprise Sam volunteers to go first. He did think of Sam as a little not so useful and strange but this was really brave so he smiles at Sam: ”You’ll do great Sam. “

The rest starts discussing about who should go when and that the injured ones should go last. He didn't expect Zé to have a mouth that big, but so did Reese and Ivy as well. Isaac doesn't want to participate in any discussions right now, what did it matter who went first or so, only the last one could have a disadvantage. What were Reese and Ivy complaining about, they didn’t need to go last, Zé said she would go so there was like no real problem.

Isaac shut his mouth for to long apparently, he hasn't god a lot of choice anymore to when he wants to climb the mountain. "Well I'll go before Zé then, oh and people who feel like they need my rope. Beck or so , as you have a long distance to climb , ask away." Sad enough Sam was already climbing else Isaac would've offered his rope to him.

Sam takes the page from Dahsi and she even receives a hug. She hugs him back and smiles. "You'll do great!" she encourages him.

And then it seems like there's is no time left to discuss, since the voice warns them there's only three minutes to go. Still Reese, Ivy, Zé and Beck somehow get tangled into some sort of argument. Dahsi doesn't participate, seeing as she does not want to choose sides and would rather seize this time to try and figure out how she can get to the purple zone on time.
Then a buzzer sounds and Sam is off to the top of the mountain. Her eyes follow him as she seems to slip a few times. Dahsi hadn't expected that of Sam, at all, but it only made her more glad, that she'd only have to climb a small section of the moutain.

"Alright blondie is on the other side. 8 minutes have passed. Pretty boy, you are next." the voice tells the others.

As more lovely words come out of Zé mouth, Ivy's eyebrows raise higher and higher up her forehead. I mean honestly, the woman is half-insanely talking to herself, putting up an entire performance as if she's planning on heading to Broadway, and ends it all with swearwords that would cause children to shriek in shock. Funnily enough, Ivy thinks Zé is being immature. She's acting like a rebelling teenager that thinks she'll belong with the cool kids as long as she uses as many curse words as possible. It's foul and frankly, Ivy starts to feel kind of sorry for Zé. It's looking like Zé has a lot to compensate for, or something.

"With all due respect, love, it's not me who has a filthy mouth," Ivy points out dryly.

Sam goes up the mountain and Isaac tells them they can have their rope if they need it. Ivy shrugs - she will only have to climb half-way, so she'll be fine. Beck will have to go next, according to the voice. It keeps calling Beck 'pretty boy', which Ivy thinks is appropriate. The kid is far too vain for his own good. Mind you, it's also half the reason she doesn't find him attractive.

Beck, still smiling confidentely, watches as Sam gives Dahsi a hug. Beck holds his breath as Sam suddenly wraps his arms around his neck. Beck blinks with his eyes and hears Sam breathing; feels him shaking, just a little. Beck didn't want it, but he blushed. ,,Sure,'' Beck whispered, trying to ease Sam a bit. ,,See you in a bit.''

Sam departs and the group waits. Beck watches Sam go up and sees him slip a few times. Beck would make sure he wouldn't spill any minutes. ,,I'll do without,'' Beck replies Isaac. He didn't want to use the rope - he was confident in himself and he didn't really know what to do with the rope anyway. ,,But thanks anyway.''

After eight minutes, the voice speaks up again, telling Beck he's allowed to go. ,,Well, I'm off then.'' Beck tells the remaining six candidates, as he starts climbing the montain.Agile as he was, Beck moves as quick as he could. He managed to avoid slipping by carefully watching his step. The mountained got steeper and steeper and finally Beck arrives at the yellow flag. There he founds the word "HASTEN". Beck then 'hastens' back down, where Sam indeed waits for him.

,,Hey,'' Beck greets him. ,,You did it in eight minutes, that's pretty good,'' Beck tells him, and he smiles. ,,So, what word did you find? Mine is 'hasten'...''

Once Beck is on the other side as well, the voice speaks again. "That's another six minutes down. Fourteen in total. Next up!" he announces.

Sam looks up from the small scribbling on his piece of paper as Beck joins him. He blushes slightly at the compliment. "Thank you, you haven't been gone long either. Good job." He smiles and pats the ground next to him, silently asking Beck to sit down with him. He writes down the new word and looks at it, frowning slightly. "I had the word 'avenge', but I don't see-"

Sam blinks and starts to write again, his heart beating faster and an excited smile appearing on his face. "Beck, look, avenge can be Geneva and hasten can be turned into Athens. Both European cities! You think that's something to work with?" He almost gives the other boy a hug again, but holds himself back. This was not the time to get distracted by pretty boys like Beck. "So.. So, Gabriel is next, right?" He mumbles a bit awkwardly.

Carrick_Fergus · Beginnend Tovenaar

Well if either Zé or Ivy isn't going to stop that bickering, who knows, they might even wanna throw eachother of the mountain. Okay maybe that's a bit over the top to think in that way, but if not one of them is going to be the smart one, it only will get worse. But maybe there's a bright side to it, if those two keep doing that, it can be an advantage fot the others to win the prize at the end, whenever that may be.

When Sam starts climbing, he sees by the look of it it isn't going to be easy, but still Sam does an amazing job. Sam even has done it in 8 minutes, which is pretty fast. Then it's Beck turn to climb up, after this it would be his turn to go up.

As the voice says next up Gabriel knows it's his turn to climb up that mountain. 'Well here I go' he says in a normal voice tone. Gabriel then starts to climb up the mountain, which he tries to do carefully to prevent himself from slipping or tripping. Because the mountain is pretty steep, probably did they do that to make it extra difficult. But despite being careful, Gabriel climbs up that mountain as fast as he could.

Gabriel arrives at the spot where he has to be where he finds the word 'LARDOON'. He climbs back down and looks at Sam and Beck. 'My word is lardoon' he says. Gabriel then listens to the words of Sam. 'You might be right he says while smiling a little 'and Lardoon is uhm...I believe Orlando then Gabriel says thoughtfully

And Gabriel has arrived too, so the voice speaks again. "That's another five minutes down. Nineteen in total. Another twenty-six to go. I believe Noisy girl is up!" he says.
